ORIGIN

This 2002 Porsche 911 Turbo is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic over Metropol Blue and equipped with a twin-turbocharged 3.6L Mezger flat-six paired with a 5-speed Tiptronic transaxle. Modifications include a UMW Stage 1 tune and additional factory options consist of aluminum, body-colored, and leather interior trim. The car was purchased new in Illinois and later brought to California, where it was sold to its second owner with 43k miles in 2006. The seller is the third owner and acquired the car from a Seattle dealer after it was featured on BaT in March 2018, subsequently adding 3k of its 175k indicated miles. Service in the past 5k miles included Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires at all four corners, new factory rocker trim, a replacement transaxle cooler, a fresh Bosch battery, and an oil change. This 996TT coupe is now offered from Minneapolis with a clean Carfax report and a clear Minnesota title.

This example is finished in Arctic Silver Metallic, and no accidents are indicated on the Carfax. A few chips and exterior blemishes are documented by the seller in the gallery below. The front valance has been drilled for a license plate, though both holes are plugged and the Minnesota plate is shown in the front trunk along with the spare tire.

Exterior options include matching Arctic Silver side air vents (XKE), and the seller recently had the side rocker trim replaced. Factory Turbo wheels wear new Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires installed in the past six months. The automatic rear spoiler is not functional and has has been disconnected.

Porsche audio equipment has replaced the previously-installed Alpine navigation screen, though the seller notes that a matching amplifier still needs to be sourced for the system to function. The in-dash CD holder has been replaced with a secondary cubby. Silver-faced gauges include a digital odometer showing approximately 175k miles. An occasional PSM/ABS error is said to appear on the dash.

The 3.6L Mezger flat-six was originally rated at 415 horsepower and is linked to all four wheels through a 5-speed Tiptronic shiftable automatic transmission. Engine management has been modified with a UMW Stage 1 ECU tune according to the seller, while recent service has included new spark plugs, a replacement transaxle intercooler, a motor oil and filter change, a fresh Bosch battery, and a new air filter. Documented service history is limited.

The seller describes pulsing from the front brakes and recommends that the next owner replace the pads and rotors. A torn ball joint boot is described on one of the front control arms, and a replacement arm is included. Additional underside images are available in the gallery.
